Notes About The Poem

2/21/2025 for Mind of the heart Poetry Contest sponsored by Unseeking Seeker. 

Mind of the Heart

“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~
we attained God consciousness unblinking”

My brain told my heart, 
"You're not very smart - 
what you know ain't worth beans". 

My heart told my mind, 
"Do not be unkind", 
but my brain doesn't know what that means.

This strange interaction
runs the contraption
that takes me from birth to the grave.   

If they could agree, 
then you might see
that I know just how to behave.

When my brain works like mad, 
can that be so bad?
You could say it's a real go-getter.

Yet, when my behavioral art
comes from my heart, 
it's then that I always feel better.
